Title: All Stations Accessibility
Program (ASAP).
OMB Number: 2132–0582.
Background: The Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, enacted as the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(Pub. L. 117–58), established a new All
Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP)
to provide Federal competitive grants to
assist eligible entities in financing
capital and planning projects to upgrade
the accessibility of legacy rail fixed
guideway public transportation systems
for people with disabilities, including
those who use wheelchairs, by
increasing the number of existing
stations or facilities for passenger use
that meet or exceed the new
construction standards of Title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Funding under this program can be used
to repair, improve, modify, retrofit, or
relocate infrastructure of legacy stations
or facilities for passenger use, including
load-bearing members that are an
essential part of the structural frame, to
meet or exceed current ADA standards
for buildings and facilities; or planning
related to pursuing public
transportation accessibility projects,
assessments of accessibility, or
assessments of planned modifications to
legacy stations or facilities for passenger
use.
FTA will use an online, grant
management system to collect the
following information:
• Legal name of the applicant (i.e.,
the legal name of the business entity), as
well as any other identities under which
the applicant may be doing business.
• Address, telephone, and email
contact information for the applicant.
• Legal authority under which the
applicant is established.
• Name and title of the authorized
representative of the applicant (who
will attest to the required certifications).

preparation of the application,
including outside accountants,
attorneys, or auditors who may be
assisting the business entity that is
applying for assistance under this
program.

the applicant meets for eligibility under
this program. The statute defines
eligible applicants as state or local

• Description of the applicant’s
business operations, in sufficient detail
to demonstrate how the applicant meets
the statutory requirement as a
municipality or community owned
utility.
• Responses to evaluation criteria
listed in the Notice of Funding
Opportunity.
FTA estimates that it will take
applicants approximately 10 hours to
complete the application process. FTA

spend another 4 hours, annually,
submitting post-award reports. The

total amount of effort involved.
